Do you think a newborn can ride in this stroller seat if we add a head and neck support pillow?

It is comfortably soft, and the support for a head and neck would work, but have in mind that you can't recline just the backrest- the whole seat reclines, so you can't lay it flat, and that might be an issue for a newborn. We got it for our 4 month old once he started to show desire to sit.

It will be safer, if you consider getting a G3 Infant Car Seat + Car Seat Base.Orbit Baby's G3 Infant Car Seat offers state-of-the-art safety features and side-impact protection for your baby, as well as a parent-friendly design that allows you to dock and rotate on the Car Seat Base, Stroller Base, and Rocker Base. The G3 Car Seat Base makes your car seat installation simple, safe, and secure and offers 360-degree protection for all Orbit Baby car seats in the car.Hope this helps you make a decision.-JKS

Not really. The back part of pillow us too thick and if tilts the child's head forwards too much. For car rides you need something that is more narrow in the back.

Yes, it leans back pretty far. You may need to add something around the babies neck/head to keep secure.

Yes. Babies should be able to hold their head up. There is not enough support for a wobbly head.

As long as your newborn is at least 5 lbs, this car seat is suitable. I didn't get it until my baby was 10 mos old so I can't speak from my experience but there are is an infant insert that comes with the seat making it comfortable for a newborn. Hope that helps!

If you find the car seat support not enough for the baby, then go for this product. Also, it's important to keep the newborns head correctly positioned (straight), and to have cushy padding under it to eliminate the possibility of flat head. I don't think this extra comforting insert could cause any safety issues, just fill out your car seat, and if you find it too hard, or notice your little one isn't snug in it, by the insert.

In my opinion yes it can and the instructions that come with the carrier show you how to position a baby to support the head. Its very snug and therefore will hold a newborn very securely. I used mine with my son after he was a month old and it was fine.

This stroller does not support the use of an infant car seat but the seats do recline almost completely flat. I used this stroller with my youngest when she was three months and I bought one of those snuzzler head supports that you can get anywhere even here on amazon and reclined the seat all the way back and she was completely comfortable and her head was supported.

Yes!! I have a newborn who sits rear facing just fine in his Graco car seat. Great stroller!!! Would definitely suggest purchasing!!

We did not use an additional support pillow and our infant fit perfectly. We used swaddling blankets for support at the very beginning. Our little man was 9 lbs at birth for reference.

I thinkit will be a little unsafe to place your new born in a stroller without having the baby in a car seat that attaches to the stroller. Once they have a better head support, it would be good to place your child in the stroller. Either way, you will need the seat for the car.

Yes. The seat is for 4 lbs and up, there is plenty of padding and the head support is perfect for babies without neck control. It is very easy to strap them in and adjust as they get bigger. My daughter is only 16 lbs and fits perfectly, she uses the strap covers that came with the seat comfortably.

The seats fold flat, so newborns can ride in it even if they can't sit up yet. May not be stablizing enough for really floppy preemies, and you may not want to actually run with the babies until they have some more neck stability.

It has a large, deep seat that is one piece-- the whole seat reclines, not just the back. For a newborn you would need some kind of insert like a snuzzler to make it more comfortable and offer body support.

Absolutely!!! The car seat has a little cushion that wraps around newborn so they don't roll around. We used ours with our newborn. I really enjoy the jogger/stroller/car seat combo.

We just brought our newborn home yesterday :) seems okay but wouldn't hurt to have extra neck support - I'm going to get a small neck pillow

Yes. Check the weight limit to make sure your baby will fit. The seat goes down to 5 lbs, but you may want to get a dedicated infant seat for your little one. Our son came home at less than 5 and needed a preemie insert (I believe it is technically called a "low birth weight foam insert") with our Britax Chaperone. Good luck!
